I know you want the site to grow, but at the same time you need to stay loyale to your original local base. I would imagine if this starts turning into something similar to DSMTuners a lot of the senior/original members will leave. The only reason a lot of people are here is b/c its mostly local guys who know each other and have become friends over the years and really not for the "DSM" aspect. but more for the "car community" aspect.

I'm changing the requirement simply because it will be up to the buyers to start leaving some feedback. You don't have to buy from someone who doesn't have any past experiances to go on, but this will give more options for parts and access to those who just don't use the web all that much to BS.
This will never turn into DSMTuners, it simply will never be that big, mainly because of the local/midwest member base. Is that saying we won't have problems? No, of course not.
Staying loyal to our base? Do you want the responsibilty of running this site? It's not just a personal site with 20 members who BS back and forth and get most of their car info on sites like DSMTalk and DSMTuners and NABR. It's because of all the support from our vendors and senior members that out customer base has expanded on it's own. And We have to adapt with that. If that means I lose activity from members because they don't have an intrest in the Mitsu area anymore, then so be it. I am not catering to the "downtown crew" or the "appelbees gang" or the "original ten" anymore.
Sorry Chris, but this is still a DSM/Mitsu based site and we will adjust and grow with the times. This is done to provide a large and more active base of auto enthusiasts to our vendors as well as give every one of those enthusiasts a place to mix all things that are part of off topic bullshit and technical advice.
